Sandwiched between Thailand and Singapore, Malaysia is a tropical haven for honeymooners. This romantic slice of Southeast Asia ticks all the boxes, as beaches and adults-only resorts intermingle with exotic jungles and vibrant cities. On the mainland, you’ll find glittering Kuala Lumpur and wildlife-filled rainforests – but Malaysia’s charm continues across nearly 900 islands. So, when it comes to designing your honeymoon package, you’ll be spoilt for choice. You could spend a few days in Kuala Lumpur, before relaxing on the powdery sands of Penang. Or maybe you’d prefer to go island-hopping across the archipelago of Langkawi? However you want to honeymoon in Malaysia, we can help you design the perfect getaway for you.
Whether the two of you are animal-lovers, culture vultures, sun seekers – or all of the above – Malaysia has something for you. That’s because this diverse country blends together all the key honeymoon ingredients, including romantic coves, back-to-nature activities, and brilliant daytrips. You could spend your mornings snorkelling with tropical fish, or lazing on the beach. Then, in the afternoons, explore national parks and exotic islands. Needless to say, your evenings will be taken up with candle-lit dining and cocktails in your luxury hotel. There are so many wonderful resorts available in Malaysia. You could book a honeymoon suite overlooking a picture-perfect beach, stay in a five-star hotel with panoramic views of Kuala Lumpur, or go all-out and stay at the Ritz-Carlton Langkawi. If you can’t treat yourself on your honeymoon, when can you?
Most honeymoons to Malaysia will start on the mainland, most likely in cosmopolitan Kuala Lumpur. While you might be tempted to head straight to the beach, it’s worth spending at least two days in this dazzling metropolis. Malaysia’s capital – affectionately known as ‘KL’ – is a mishmash of modern skyscrapers, traditional temples and spice-scented markets. You can see the iconic Petronas Towers, and visit the sacred Batu Caves. Once you’ve had your fill of the city, why not head north to Taman Negara National Park to see Malaysia’s natural side? Adventurous newlyweds will love trekking through Taman Negara’s lush jungle, looking for colourful birds, shy tapir and wild boar. Or, you can walk along the treetop walkways and enjoy incredible views over this tropical forest.
Anchored off the west coast of Malaysia, the island of Penang is nicknamed ‘the Pearl of the Orient’ – and it’s easy to see why. This small isle is a cultural melting pot, thanks to its diverse population and historical sites. Georgetown, in particular, feels like a blast from the past. It may be the second-biggest city in Malaysia, but this place couldn’t be more different from Kuala Lumpur. Here, local people peddle rickshaws up and down the streets – which are lined with colonial buildings and ancient temples – while tour guides help visitors find colourful street art and incredible cuisine. Try freshly-cooked street food, or go out for dinner and tuck into noodle soups, spring rolls and coconut curries. If you want to explore, spend a day on the sands at Batu Ferringhi – ‘Foreigners Rock’ – or discover the pathways and pools of Penang National Park.
The Langkawi archipelago is made up of over 100 islands but, perhaps unsurprisingly, Langkawi Island is the biggest. And it’s certainly the most luxurious. Among the five-star resorts here, you’ll spot VIP names like St Regis and Ritz-Carlton – the perfect choice if you want to honeymoon like a celebrity. Elsewhere on the island, green-clad mountains and tumbling waterfalls have taken over the centre, while powder-soft beaches and coral reefs run around the outside like a ribbon. So, if you want to spend your honeymoon snorkelling and diving, this is the place to come – few places have as many tropical fish as the Andaman Sea. For a very different view of Langkawi, why not take the cable car to Langkawi Sky Bridge? Built on top of Machinchang Mountain, this impressive suspended walkway weaves between the peaks and has spectacular vistas across the island.
